A tall, condensed monoline sans with softly rounded corners and a superelliptical construction in the bowls and counters. Strokes remain consistently thin with smooth joins and minimal modulation, giving the forms a clean, engineered look. Proportions are vertically emphasized, with compact counters and a restrained aperture treatment that keeps letters orderly and narrow. Curves read as rounded-rectangle arcs rather than fully circular, and the overall rhythm is even and carefully spaced for a sleek, linear texture.
Best suited to display and titling contexts where its narrow footprint and delicate strokes can create a sophisticated vertical rhythm—such as posters, fashion or lifestyle branding, magazine headings, and refined packaging. It can also work for interface labels and navigation when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate contrast, while long body text may require generous sizing and spacing to preserve legibility.
The tone is crisp and contemporary, with a refined, understated elegance. Its thin, vertical presence feels architectural and editorial, projecting a calm, high-end minimalism rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, space-efficient sans for modern layouts, combining geometric discipline with softened corners to avoid harshness. It prioritizes a lightweight, high-fashion presence and a consistent system of rounded-rectilinear curves for a cohesive, contemporary voice.
Uppercase forms present a composed, sign-like simplicity, while the lowercase maintains clarity with straightforward single-storey shapes where expected and short cross strokes kept minimal. Numerals follow the same narrow, monoline logic, reading clean and stylized with gentle rounding and a consistent vertical stance.
